Patch from Ian Campbell.
i386 Xen guests require a PAE (686-bigmem) kernel in order to
run. Therefore this variant includes the relevant installer kernel and
ramdisk in install.386/xen as well as suitable kernel udebs and proper
debs for the installed system.
amd64 Xen has no similar requirement but we include the kernels under
install.amd/xen in order to have a consistent path under both
architectures.
All tasks files are moved to ./tasks/<codename> subdirectories so they
can be more easily kept up-to-date with specific distro releases.
Always generate the debian-installer and tasksel tasks dynamically:
- all task files for the desired suite are copied to the working
directory at the beginning of each build, and are used from there;
- the debian-installer and tasksel tasks are no longer included in
releases but are always created automatically at build time; this
means users no longer need to run the generate_di_* scripts or the
update_tasksel script;
- the popcon task file will remain included as a static file, but plan
is to add an option to update it automatically for each build; reason
is that updating it requires network access.
Bump version to 3.1.
brltty has started pulling in libicu, which has a size of 5MB.
An overhead of 5MB is just too big for netinst CD images for a
package that is only needed by a very small group of users and
that will normally also be available from a mirror (brltty gets
installed during finish-install).
For full CDs and DVDs the package will still get included as it's
listed in forcd1.
Looks like the workaround is still needed after all, so just remove
unifont from the packages that are forced.
Also, add pptp-linux to images using the di+k list instead of through
this hack (changelog says adding it here needed "FIXME later...").
They are no longer installed from D-I as jbfterm was only needed for
base-config and unifont's dependencies have become insane.
Saves 15MB on i386 netinst images.
Make sure packages (loop-aes-utils and loop-aes kernel modules)
are included on the installation CD in case loop-aes encryption
is used during partitioning.
When building a CD for e.g. etch using D-I from e.g. sid, the script should
not update debian-installer+kernel-sid but debian-installer+kernel-etch in
tasks. After all, debian-installer+kernel-* contains normal packages, and
not udebs. With this change we no longer have to modify the Debian_<codename>
tasks in such cases.
The generated file should of course have '#include <debian-installer-sid>'.
include the first one. This reduces the size of the netinst and improves
what's included on CD1. Only loss is console-{data,common,tools} so these
are now added in generate_di+k_list.
* Switch from yaird over to initramfs-tools (same arches)
* Much simplified generate_di+k_list - mips and mipsel don't need script
fragments any more
* Added elilo for i386
* Applied patch from smarenka to add 2.6 kernels for m68k, also 2.4 kernels
for appropriate m68k subarches, and also emile, amiboot, atari-bootstrap,
and initramfs-tools for m68k.
* generate_di+k_list: Switch initamfs generator to per-arch,
based on what base-installer installs:
- initramfs-tools on i386, amd64, alpha, powerpc, arm
- yaird on hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, sparc, m68k
